The Magic of the Mark reaches Warwickshire Installed Masters\u2019<\/strong><\/p>

The recent meeting of the Warwickshire Installed Masters\u2019 Lodge was, as usual, very special.\u00a0 \u00a0The second biggest Craft lodge in the Constitution, the Mastership of this eminent lodge is a Provincial Grand Master\u2019s appointment.\u00a0 The recent installation meeting saw RWBro Phil Wills, the Mark ProvGM for Warwickshire, take the Chair.\u00a0 The Craft ProvGM, WBro Phil Hall PGSD<\/strong>, was closely involved, both presenting RWBro Phil and then addressing him \u2013 Provincial Grand Master to Provincial Grand Master!\u00a0 Having invested his new team, the tradition of the lodge is for the new Master to address the meeting on some topic close to his heart.\u00a0 Speculation may have been rife as to what be RWBro Phil\u2019s focus.\u00a0 The odds were probably not great as he talked about the Mark Degree.<\/p>

He started with the origins of the order and that it has grown into the \u2018friendly degree\u2019.\u00a0 He mentioned Lord Leigh who was the Mark Grand Master at the same time as being the Craft ProvGM \u2013 perhaps one of Warwickshire earliest members of the \u2018two chains club\u2019?\u00a0 WBro Howard Smith is currently a member of this august club as he is an AsstPGM in both Craft and Mark \u2013 not an easy task not just in terms of commitment but also as the two different addresses to the Master are, well, not so different!<\/p>

He also touched on the amazing work of the Mark Benevolent Fund, adding that it prides itself on the speed with which it responds.\u00a0 Indeed, its principle guideline is still \u2018he gives twice who gives promptly\u2019.\u00a0 Bro Phil is Warwickshire\u2019s 16th<\/sup> Mark ProvGM and is clearly very proud to have served in such a tangible way, leading the Province through the difficult years of the pandemic and setting the foundations for the forthcoming 2027 MBF Festival (https:\/\/warksmarkpgl.co.uk\/mark\/2027-mark-festival\/<\/a>). \u00a0His retirement will be well deserved and the annual meeting of PGL next month will see WBro Andrew Armbrister, currently the Mark DepPGM, succeed Bro Phil.<\/p>

With the alms, in aid of the Warwickshire Tercentenary Fund, which is supporting Fisher House (https:\/\/warwickshirefreemasons.org.uk\/2028-appeal\/<\/a>), amounting to over \u00a3700, all in all, it was indeed a very special evening.\u00a0 With such an experienced mason at the helm, the lodge is in for a special year.\u00a0 Mark my words, it\u2019s bound to be magic!<\/p>
